A community canvas for you to colour…

Quay Street, Rockhampton has a brand new Riverfront. To celebrate, Rockhampton Regional Council is inviting organisations and individuals to work with us to deliver a six month calendar of activities that showcase Quay Steet as the lively heart of Rockhampton.

The Lively Quay Street Grants programme will activate Quay Street and surrounds in 2017/18 through a range of events, festivals, installations, pop-ups, public classes, recreational and creative activities. Rockhampton Regional Council is looking to offer cash and in-kind grants for activities that demonstrate the broad possibilities of the site, test new ideas and can show an ability to be self-sufficient in the future.
